I have always had a passion towards natural medicine. Originally from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (a post-Soviet Union country in Central Asia) my family used herbs and nutrition throughout our life to stay healthy.
When I was a teenager I became interested in the biology of cancer. While a student at American University in Central Asia, I volunteered at the Children’s Cancer Center applying for grants for social and medical support of the Center. I also created educational and holiday events for the children and their parents with my fellow students. I assisted doctors with the translation of clinical articles and treatment protocols from English into Russian. It was wonderful to help patients and their families with whatever I could to make their stay at the hospital easier and more enjoyable.
